Hi remember when i discovered my first shiny in G/S i thought it was some kind of glitch i havnt found many. to be honest i forget how to hunt for them i m looking for a pikachu shiny and a haxorus shiny, i would love to join
Welcome!
i dont remember ever finding a shiny up until DPPt besides the Gyarados when i got a Kricketune. If you've forgotten how to hunt, it's easy, there's only a few ways to hunt.
A) the main way to hunt, RE or Random Encounter. yeah, you only have a 1/8192 chance of encountering your shiny, but when one does show, Shazaam!! and the 1/8192 is for EVERY Pokemon Encounter
B) another way of hunting is for the Legendary Pokemon. SR, or Soft Resetting, which means, if your hunting in the GBA games, you press ABStartSelect at the same time. DDPt on up, you press the Shoulder buttons plus StartSelect. again, you have a 1/8192 chance of the shiny appearing
C) and another way, which i havent yet done myself, is hatching your shiny. the best way is to have a Foreign Pokemon FROM YOUR LANGUAGE (IE, if your English, a British Poke wont work) and the Poke that you want to shine. That is called the MM, or Masuda (some people misspell this and call it the Medusa) Method. im not quite sure of the rate here, and there are two different ones once you hit B/W, but i am sure someone will Quote this and tell you
I dont believe there are any other ways than these, besides RNGing yourself a shiny............which in my eyes, is not the way to go
now, for my hunts: I was, in Diamond, Encountering in the Double Encounter areas. Since i just got a shiny Bronzor, encountering in Wayward Cave again is kinda moot point when partner'd with Mira. so my next area, when i probably defeat the Elite 4, will be in Iron Island. yeah, more Geodudes, Gravelers, Zubats and Golbats, BUT there are Onix and Steelix!!!
Platinum: Route 213. Thanks to Polarix, im now hunting here, but since its a new week, ill hunt here again at some point
Pearl: Eterna Forest. Im mainly hoping for Budew, Buneary or Misdreavous, but i wouldnt mind Cascoon to finish the Wurmple line.
